How individually quoted pricing works

Lessrec provides human-reviewed transcription: an editor listens to the recording and checks the full text. Send your project requirements for an individual written quote.

That means a 30-minute recording maps to 30 billable minutes, not the number of pages in the transcript and not the time it would take a person to type it manually.

When this model fits best

One-off interviews, podcasts, webinars, and sales calls.
Long recordings that do not justify a monthly transcription subscription.
Internal legal or research review where you need searchable text, not a certified court record.
Teams that want a lightweight transcript before deciding whether human editing is worth it.

Audio and video uploads

The upload page accepts audio and video files. Common examples shown on the site include MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, FLAC, MP4, MOV, and WEBM. The public app is designed for ordinary web uploads; if a file is unusually large, use the notes field or email contact path instead of forcing it through the form.

TXT and DOCX downloads

When processing is complete, the app exposes transcript downloads in TXT and DOCX where available. TXT is useful for search, cleanup, and copy-paste workflows. DOCX is better when a human will review the text, add comments, or share it with a client.

If you need a subtitle file, speaker labels, or a specific legal/research format, note that before upload so the project can be routed correctly.

What not to use it for

AI transcription is useful for review, drafting, search, and internal workflows. It should not be presented as a certified court transcript or as a substitute for a qualified human record when certification is required. For sensitive or regulated work, treat the transcript as a working draft unless your review process says otherwise.
